Thanks for taking the time to do that for us

I haven’t had a FB account in years, but a friend has been on it for nearly 2 decades. They said there’s no longer any posts from people on their Friends lists, it’s become nearly all ads/spam as they scroll.

Apparently he used to own x.com back in 1999 before it merged with PayPal (or something like that).

From Wikipedia: On July 5, 2017, Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal. He explained later that he bought the website because “it has great sentimental value”.

Probably bought twitter just to have an excuse to use the domain again for something. That guy has too much money.

This is what the internet used to be like. You’d have a very simple webpage/website set up dedicated to a hobby or something personal that might interest you and put it out there for people to come across and read. I really miss this era of the internet.

I miss a lot of my favourite smaller subreddits too. There’s way more now popping up then there was a few weeks ago so it is getting better. It’ll take time for communities to grow, we can’t expect it to be instantly like our fave subreddits were right off the bat. We have to remember that our niche subreddits started small as well at one point. Also consider doing some posting in those slow communities yourself to get the ball rolling. I’ve noticed it takes someone else commenting and providing content before other people feel brave enough to join in too. Kind of like no one wanting to be the first or only person on the dance floor. Once a couple people get in there and begin dancing others join too.
